The Vosges Haut-Chocolat mission is to create a luxury chocolate experience rooted in a sensory journey of bringing about awareness to indigenous cultures through the exploration of spices, herbs, roots, flowers, fruits, nuts, chocolate, and the obscure. To ensure this, Owner/Chocolatier, Katrina Markoff, personally chooses every spice, flower, and chocolate that is flown into their Chicago kitchen.
The all time favorite from Vosges, the inimitable Mo's Chocolate and Bacon Candy Bar, combines smoky bacon and sweet milk chocolate. Vosges creator Katrina explains the origins of this unique combination: "Crisp, buttery, compulsively irresistible bacon and milk chocolate combination has long been a favorite of mine. I started playing with this combination at the tender age of six while eating chocolate chip pancakes drenched in maple syrup. Beside my chocolate-laden cakes laid three strips of fried bacon, just barely touching a sweet pool of maple syrup. Just a bite of the bacon was too salty and yearned for the sweet kiss of chocolate syrup. In retrospect, perhaps this was a turning point, for on that plate something magical happened: the beginnings of a combination so ethereal and delicious that it would haunt my thoughts until I found the medium to express it--chocolate."
Ingredients:
Applewood smoked bacon, Alder smoked salt, and deep milk chocolate.
Gluten free.
41% cacao.

I am not a fan of dark chocolate so this is the one I chose. On the packaging it actually says 'deep milk chocolate,' so if you are someone who doesn't like the bitterness of dark chocolate then this isn't for you. There is only a little bacon in it also. The one redeeming quality I found was the salt.

Needs More Bacon!

I read reviews prior to purchasing this item, and I have to confirm that this is not very bacon-y. It has teeny crunches through the chocolate bar reminiscent of Bacos brand bacon bits, but it just tastes a little salty and not particularly like bacon. Was it a bad tasting bar? No, it was still quite tasty as a salty chocolate bad! It just wasn't what I hoped it would be. If it is your first time trying Bacon/Chocolate together, this would be a good place to start!

Awesome!

The chocolate bar was perfect...creamy, rich and just full of goodness. It has exactly the right amount of bacon.

I'm told the chocolate bacon bar was AWESOME.

When I told my friend he should store the extra in the freezer...he just laughed...leftovers???

Bacon and Chocolate! What a treat!

Love Vosges chocolate. My favorite. This combination is excellent and must be tried. Out of this world.

Big Hit

I have no idea how it tastes (yet!), but just for entertainment value, it provided our bacon-loving son with something he had never seen before! Not an easy bacon thing to do!

After hearing glowing praise about chocolate covered bacon, I decided to buy some to try for myself and this was one I found online. I was a bit let down. It was OK but not as mind blowing as I'd have expected for the price. Maybe I was expecting a higher ratio of bacon to chocolate, and a milkier milk chocolate. And bigger. Oh well, at least I tried something new :)
